The effect of vanadium oxide loading on CeO2 support for ethane oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) is studied.Surface vanadia species are highly dispersed on CeO2. The interaction with surface vanadia species significantlychanges the structural and reactive properties of ceria support. VOx/CeO2 suffers an important change duringethane ODH due to a solid-state reaction between CeO2 and surface vanadia species resulting in the formationof CeVO4. Such a solid-state reaction is promoted by high temperature, high vanadium loading, and reducingenvironments. Raman in situ temperature-programmed studies under reduction and oxidation conditions revealthat the catalytic cycle involves oxidation-reduction of the Ce4+ Ce3+ species, while the V5+ speciesremain stable.
